India's First Audio Copyrighting ? 

Many Indian classical artists who recorded in the late 1920's and 30s used
to shout their names at the end of the recordings so that their work could
not be stolen or passed off as someone else's.   So on a few 78s which were
pressed in this era had this naïve scream at the end of the record where
the Singer shouts out his name and thus copyrighting the Audio work or
recording.

I would love to get hold of any one of these recording. So if anyone has a
record or a reproduction with this 'shout to copyright' then please do
contact me

Thanks

Ish
